Hi,
On my site you can vote for games...and some little puke keeps view the source and manually entering a # for voting. I changed my PHP to make it so the # is 1-10 (ya, I know...I should have before) How can I log an IP or SOMETHING when the guy tried to enter an incorrect # again.http://gamesdex.com

ronnie, well not so actually. The ISP will know who was using what ip at what time. At the end of the day you need to law enforcement agencies cooperation (thus getting the isp's cooperation) or the ISP themselves to cooperate to take matters much further.
Anyway sammy i dont really think that should be called a hack and i dont see what you would do with their ip. Since they are obviously not breaking any laws Tell their mummy? ...unless there are new laws regards the reading of HTML code in which case im going down!

I would assume that he is going in a reading the variable names and then passing the appropriate variables through a url. Go to the script that processes the ratings and add code to get the url used to get to that page. If it has variables in it, i.e. is not the correct url then have the script not process the info.

That was kinda my point, yes it could be tracked if this was a major hack or such. But he's just trying to stop a dork from messing up his poll.. I guess I meant if he starts blocking by IP, he could be locking out legit surfers who were only unlucky to get the IP after this person messed with the site. I myself could use a banning system, but IP is not the way to go.
